In prior iOS of 17 we had GIF for text messages such as birthdays and many others. Don’t understand stickers or how to attach GIF’s. Please for us illiterate seniors come back with the bubble/ballon for gif’s

iPhone 12, iOS 17
iMessage apps, including the iMessage app used to send GIFs, are accessed in a different way as of iOS 17.
To send GIFs, open up a conversation in the Messages app. Then, tap the "+" icon to the left of the text box. This will reveal some of your iMessage apps. Tap the #images app if you see it.
If you don't see the #images app, tap "More" at the bottom.
To rearrange the list of iMessage apps however you'd like, check out the following support document: Use iMessage apps in Messages on iPhone - Apple Support
I’ve tried for three days. This from Emi16 finally worked. Thank you Emi16!
Totally agree. It’s just a simple pleasure and just makes things nice, a little fun.
but nope, that had to become more steps then needed like so many other things. No reason.
How do you find gif on the iPhone 15
Exactly. Why does apple keep changing things when people don't want it changed??
None of the suggested “fixes” work. Why has Apple become such a POS? Had iPhone for +10 years and instead of getting better it just gets worse. Going back to android.
I have to go through the entire thread to find it? You couldn’t copy/paste or repost?
Because it is a customary with any update to make the interface worse for its users. #images should be on the first screen get rid off apple cash, audio or location.
No land jksk
Thank you.
that worked a treat.
!!! why would you need all the stuff that’s there?
this is helpful thank you. You can also drag it to the top of the menu so that it’ll be easier to access it.
I also no longer had (Tenor) GiF option, only #images. The suggestion above works. Open the Messages app. Tap the + icon beside the iMessage field. Tap Stickers (even though you don’t want a sticker). You’ll see the blue GiF icon in the row at the top. Tap the GiF icon and you’re back in business..
Agree with everyone here. Who makes a UI more difficult to use?!
Me too! I hate it. My daughter told me to go to images. I don’t want images. I want my Gifs. 😡
Holy smokes! It works! Thank you so much. I did not realize how something like this could ruffle my feathers. Thanks again!
The first reply to help me! I moved the GIF option to the front of the line so I don’t have to scroll right
thank you!
Where did GIF on text go in iPhone iOS 17?
